Two arrested in Pridefest brawl

Two Marysville men were arrested after a Pridefest brouhaha Sunday in which religious protesters clashed with festival celebrants.

A witness captured the fight on video. The footage contains profanity.

Seattle bike patrol officers came upon a debate between two groups of men at the Seattle Center near Fourth Avenue and Broad Street, according to Seattle Police reports. They continued patrolling the area, but were called back to the scene after a fight erupted.

One man ripped a “Repent or else” sign from a protester’s hands and punched him.

Officers detained two men, ages 36 and 22.

Upon initial investigation, officers released the 22-year-old and booked the 36-year-old into the King County Jail. Officers have requested misdemeanor assault charges against both men.
